Interested to hear what you think.

    Schmutz.

    It’s Yiddish (?) and is a general term for unspecified dirt or filth. The fun part: once you have identified the filth, it is no longer schmutz.

    My spouse and I picked it up from the Says You radio show years ago, and have used it ever since.

        Its US usage comes mostly from Yiddish, but fun story: I studied for two years in Germany after taking one semester of German (would not recommend, but it worked out), and on my first day, I told my housemate that she had some schmutz on her nose, and she was so excited about the German progress I had already made… I did not know at that time that Schmutz was dirt, but I’ve always remembered it

    Peef.

    It’s when you fart out of your dick hole. A “Penis Queef”, if you will. Happened to me once when I had a cystoscopy. Weirdest feeling ever.
